-windowed launch option not working

Expected behavior:​

Using the -windowed flag in launch options runs the game in windowed mode

Observed behavior:​

Game flashes a window of desired resolution briefly before switching to fullscreen. (Game does not render in fullscreen on my system).

Workaround:​

Setting the ⁨`setting.fullscreen`⁩ boolean in ⁨`SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Deadlock/game/citadel/cfg/video.txt`⁩ to 0

Possible fix:​

Make sure the -windowed launch option correctly updates the video.txt file.
